De minimis and Direct Product Rules Webinar

On Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, BIS offered a special one and a half hour webinar. Export Administration officials provided an overview of the Export Administration Regulations involving de minimis, the direct product rule, and second incorporation. Topics included the new decision tree tool available for direct product and de minimis rules to help you determine if your non-U.S.-made item (located outside the U.S.) is subject to the Export Administration Regulations. Scenarios involved both “600 series” and non- 600 series items. Participants were able to submit questions by email during the webinar, and BIS officials responded orally at the end of the presentation
